To start 2011 off with Coloradolady and her Vintage Thingies Thursday, taking you back to the 50s. I am sure with all the gifts received during the past few days, there will be a lot of vintage things to see at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com.I received this jewelery box in the 50s. It is all leather and still in good condition.These are some little pins that have been given to me over the years. Back a few years, everyone was not "dressed" until you had on a pin of some sort. Not as many seem to wear them today. These are real cultured pearls from the 50s. I love them. As you can see, the clasp is back when they were making the filigree design.One of my smaller watches from years back. I no longer wear it as I have a hard time seeing the time.

LV, I love this! My mom had one and I have it now. I have it put away for safe keeping all full of her pearls and wonderful Sarah Coventry earrings.There are even some baby teeth in there.Your's is a lot fancier than mom's. Just look at all those cubby holes. The top bee pin and maybe the next one looks like Avon pins. My grandma sold Avon years ago and got these pins for top sales in her area. Did you sell Avon?Thanks for sharing all that fun!

Howdy LVOh my this is a great treasurefor Vintage Thursday !Thank you for sharing so many wonderful moments of your life with us each week .Blessings to you for the rest of the week :)Happy hugs from me to you .Until next timeHappy Trails

Beautiful LV. You are so right about the pins. I use them on my mixed media art sometimes. Do you have a little button with a flower on it on your digital camera? That is what you use for the macro shots.QMM

I had a jewelry box exactly like this!!! And several pins similar. I collected animal pins as a child, everyone wore pins back then. I still have some jewelry with the filigree clasp, too. Thanks for the trip back in time!

Loved looking at all your wonderful vintage jewelery collection.The watch reminds me of the one my grandmother always wore.. good memories, i remember holding her wrist and admiring her watch as she would try to teach me to tell time.

Gorgeous pins, LV! My mom had this jewelry box in pink- it was given to her when she graduated high school. I used to love opening it up and exploring all the nooks and crannies while rediscovering all my favorites in her jewelry collection. Happy VTT and PS- I love the new blog look!
